Week 2 Friday matches

P1 vs C9:

Meteos starting, P1 fans rejoice as we realize Inori is not and was not the problem on that squad. A decent jungler with an under-preforming Top and Bot while your mid lane is an aggro machine like Ryu, problems will happen. Arrow is underwhelming with Shady as a support, the reason he shined on KT Rolster was Ssumday, Kakao/Score and Piccaboo/Hachani. Hachani and Piccaboo are known in the LCK for having great synergy with junglers, Kakao and Score loved to play for vision and control, Ssumday was Ssumday, at this point i can only say Huni and Smeb are on/above his level. Zig was a top 3 laner last split along with Hauntzer and Ray, but now it seems he's going the way of Lourlo this split with people asking "What happened?" Arrow and Shady, i dont care what they say, Shady looks like he has no synergy with Arrow and we see that after every game they go 0/2/4 or 1/3/3 Ryu is decent but not the guy whos going to put the team on his back, nobody is going to that it seems. C9 looked like they were C9 again which is nice but is this because P1 is bad right now or is it because they shook off whatever rust/shakiness they had in week 1? Overall, i think P1 is going to fall to be a middle of the pack team who's spot is going to be taken by either CLG or IMT, C9 looked dominant again against a good opponent to help get the stink of a bad week off of them. I wasnt surprised at the outcome, i expected the 2-0 but i am disappointed that it happened and was far less competitive then their meet-ups last split.

IMT vs NV

First some thoughts on players Apollo, my god, here's another guy who looks like he is improving by miles, is he on the tier of being mentioned with DoubleLift, Sneaky or Stixxay? No, but right now id take him over a lot of ADCs in NA. Seraph, this is what made me kinda salty about Seraph, he has moments of clarity but i never liked how inconsistent he was. Lira, that man is a trooper and its great to see he is getting more return for his plays. Hakuho, i dont know about this guy still, i want to see NV take on a better, top tier bot lane to see how great of a support he really is. Pirean, i honestly am getting surprised a lot by these guys coming into this split LCS after a bad start, first Big, then Cody Sun, Keane, Apollo and now Pirean, i really hope he keeps this up. Flame, i dont like Galio, he seems to do better on picks like Shen, Rumble, Fiora, etc. picks to split push. Galio being played in NA is leaving a lot of great players looking lackluster. Xmithie, looked okay but needed to realize against a jungler like Lira, you need to play the powerfarm style and let Flame on Galio be the roaming aggressor and follow up for him. Cody Sun, Olleh and Pobelter looked decent. Not good, not bad but decent, and that in itself is bad against a team who is viciously hungry to not be 9th place again. Game 1 and 2 showed that NV can still shred teams early and keep it going later in the game, even though the Picks for IMT looked wonky and bad as hell. Galio shouldnt be played in NA, Blitzcrank and RekSai NEED their team to be 100% on follow up patrol to be effective. Their entire draft was picks that need some kind of follow up that they couldnt provide for eachother. All in all though, IMT is a team that can look clean as hell when they dont screw up drafts, and kudos to NV for beating them and not baiting themselves against the picks like so many teams can. IMT just TSM'd themselves today and NV made them pay, so proud i can say that about NV again.
